Yun Qi touched the sealed entrance to the cave. “We can’t get in. This cave is very special. But it seems Jiang Hao couldn’t come out, or maybe he planned to use this mine to escape from us?”

Lan Qian stood beside him. She frowned. “That shouldn’t be the case. He has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so it’s even more dangerous for him inside. It appears that he didn’t manage to come out in time.”

“What a pity. I mined some ores and planned to share it with him. There was quite a lot.” Yun Qi sighed and reluctantly picketed the extra spirit stones.

“Let’s wait a bit. Maybe he will come out when the spatial fluctuations disappear,” Lan Qian said.

Yun Qi nodded. He didn’t mind waiting. He glanced at Lan Qian. “When will you teach me the content of the sixth stone tablet?”

“Before we leave,” Lan Qian said.

“Alright, then let’s continue mining here for now. This is quite interesting,” Yun Qi said with a smile.

“Who are you selling the ores to?” Lan Qian asked curiously.

“To the ones in Soul Ascension cultivators. Who else would be willing to make trades below the Soul Ascension Realm cultivators? They are all so poor,” Yun Qi said helplessly. “I find that even they are also poor.”

“If they are on the path to making progress in their cultivation, you won’t find many people with spirit stones,” Lan Qian said. “Cultivation is an extremely costly affair, and spirit stones are meant to be earned and used to enhance oneself and become stronger. If one’s cultivation is not sufficient, everything is just useless.”

“I am different. I am very rich.” Yun Qi chuckled. “Senior sister, do you want to follow me? I’ll take you to enjoy all the food and drinks.”

Lan Qian glanced at him. She didn’t reply and just sat cross-legged to begin cultivating while waiting for the mine to return to normal.

Jiang Hao walked into an unfamiliar mine and noticed that the stone walls here were reinforced with bricks. It looked more like a man-made structure than a naturally occurring cave.

The light was also different, but he couldn’t determine the location. He was only certain of one thing: there was danger here.

Soon, he encountered some demonic beasts in the mine. They were entirely black with sharp claws and fangs and at the peak stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Instead of confronting them, Jiang Hao chose to hide and wait for them to leave.

If they were in the Primordial Spirit Realm, he would have attacked them. He could get some blue bubbles that way. However, with the beasts at Foundation Establishment Realm, he couldn’t even get white bubbles.

Jiang Hao continued to explore the passage and search for an exit from this place. He had no intention of fully exploring this place. It looked dangerous and unnatural. He wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

At this point, he had already sealed away his rooster. If it started crowing, it would be quite troublesome.

He had evaded the beasts a few times along the way. Suddenly, he heard footsteps from another passage nearby. He lowered his head and remained quiet.

If the person approached him, he would have to take action. The Half-Moon Blade was already in his hand. When the person got close, he would decide whether to kill them or not.

Thud! Thud!

The footsteps were getting closer. However, just as the figure was about to

arrive, Jiang Hao heard a sound trom another direction. The person stopped, said something, and turned and left.

Jiang Hao let out a sigh of relief. Based on the spiritual energy fluctuations around him, the person should be at the peak of the Golden Core Realm. He couldn’t understand what he had said to the other person. It sounded too complicated.

He could only remember some of their words because the person had seemed surprised.

Jiang Hao was now curious.

He waited for a while until the people were gone for good.

Only then did Jiang Hao start to look for a way out.

After all, with different languages, there would surely be differences in their methods as well. It would be best not to engage in conflicts. Jiang Hao used a notebook to write down the words he had just heard.

The pronunciations were somewhat similar.

However, he could understand it because the words remained in his mind. He was just worried that he might forget it someday, so he wrote it down.

“Pi Tiao Ge Sheng Qiu…”

He looked at the words. They didn’t make sense at all.

If he could figure out the language, he might be able to find out which place thos mine was connected to.

Although it was not useful to him just yet, the information might come in handy at the next gathering.

Afterward, Jiang Hao kept evading the demonic beasts. He tried to find a way out.

After about half a month, he saw a faint light in the passage.

Once he confirmed that there was no problem, he stepped through and returned to the passage.

“Back already?”

Once he confirmed there was no problem, he released the rooster. It was still asleep. Its advancement was taking longer than expected.

He checked to make sure no traces of the Universe in a Palm were left behind. After that, he walked out of the cave.

He saw two people outside the entrance of the cave. Yun Qi and Lan Qian.

“You are safe.” Yun Qi was somewhat surprised.

“I was mining and didn’t pay attention to the changes around me. When I finally noticed it, I didn’t dare to act recklessly, so I managed to come out safely,” Jiang Hao said.

He also put the rooster aside.

“Many demonic beasts have been hiding lately. It seems that many of them are going to advance,” Yun Qi said.

Jiang Hao felt strange. Why were so many demonic beasts advancing at the same time? He didn’t ask that aloud.

After that, Jiang Hao handed over the ores and obtained four thousand spirit stones.

“So much?” Jiang Hao said.

It was more than what he got before. The ores he had were accumulated from previous mining. The stock was depleting. He would soon run out.

“Keep mining. There are still two months left. When you get out of here, you will still have spirit stones to spare after buying a Heavenly Rejuvenation Pill,” Yun Qi said with a smile.

“Let’s wait until the rooster wakes up,” said Lan Qian. “Yes, Senior Sister. You are quite attentive.” Yun Qi smiled.

Jiang Hao thanked her too.

That day he went out and returned with a new rooster. Then, he went back to the mine.

Yun Qi and Lan Qian were stunned. Why did he have to be so passionate about mining?

“I believe what he said before might be true. Perhaps he received some spirit stones. Otherwise, why would he be so willing to mine?” Yun Qi said jokingly.

Jiang Hao’s enthusiasm was beneficial to them as well. They would earn several thousand spirit stones this way

“Some people are watching us,” Lan Qian said.

“They are nobodies. Senior Sister, don’t worry about them. You can continue to cultivate. Leave everything to me. In the entire Blood Tide Forest, I’m invincible as long as the extraordinary genius doesn’t arrive,” said Yun Qi.

Lan Qian glanced at him but didn’t say anything.

At this moment, Jiang Hao felt a lingering fear. He had triggered something at Heavenly Stele Mountain because of which all this was happening. Even beasts were trying to advance.

‘I should find time to appraise Yun Qi.’

Half a month later, the rooster crowed.

Jiang Hao walked out of the mine.

It was now early December, and there were at most one and a half months left until the boundary to the Corpse Realm closed..
